FUTURECOAST This project provided a major step forward in conceptualising the factors affecting coastal change. A 'behavioural systems' approach was adopted, which involved the identification of the different elements that make up the coastal structure and developing an understanding of how these elements interact on a range of both temporal and spatial scales.
